Accessibility

Fire & Rescue NSW has designed its website to ensure content is available to the widest possible audience, on a broad range of browsers and operating systems, including readers using assistive technology or accessibility features. We adhere to web standards and accessibility guidelines to allow for the variety of technology platforms, communication methods, and abilities of website users in the community.

Online accessibility

Fire & Rescue NSW is committed to ensuring this web site meets best practice guidelines and at least Priority Two requirements of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 (WCAG). Most pages meet all three Priority levels (also known as AAA) of the WCAG as we believe all users should be able to easily access content on this website.

Disability Discrimination Act

Australian Government departments and agencies are obliged by the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 to ensure that online information and services are accessible by people with disabilities. There is also the requirement to make online resources accessible to those people with technical constraints, such as older browsers and lower speed internet connections.
